    My honest analysis: a propaganda piece by a tankie, for papa Putin – who wants to keep donnie and the republitards in power – against liberals to disenfranchise leftist voters from the Democratic Party to stop them from voting at all in the upcoming midterms.

      The repost perhaps. My original post was definitely not. Tankies are an odd bunch. Never heard of them prior to Lemmy. Much like the far right, their world view seems to be entirely self-contained, with no room for perceptive beyond their brethren.

        Ahh, yes I do mean including the title that OP posted this with.

        I never actually met one before lemmings either. I too find them to be exactly like MAGA in their line of thinking, but also in their style of arguing (from straw manning to worse, using every dirty trick in the book to get you to back down when you start picking apart their BS). Luckily I have ample experience with MAGAts on 9GAG, which I left years ago. But it does strengthen my belief in the horseshoe theory.
